TRAVEL ADVIDE

Walking and Exploration: A full-day tour involves extensive walking and exploring; wear comfortable shoes and a day-long adventure. Here is another tip: Do not use NEW sneakers, use the ones that make you feel comfortable.

Documentation

Passport & Visa: Ensure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your planned departure date. Citizens of many countries, including the US, Canada, the UK, and most of Europe, do not need a visa for tourist visits to Peru for up to 90 days.

Vaccinations: Check with your healthcare provider for recommended vaccinations before traveling to Peru, especially for high-altitude regions or the jungle, there, they recommend having yellow fever shots.

Healthcare

Health Precautions: Stay hydrated, especially in higher altitudes like Cusco, and be aware of the potential effects of altitude sickness. Carry any necessary medications (ask your primary care doctor), insect repellent, and a basic first-aid kit.

Is this tour right for me?

Age Suitability: Many parts of the itinerary are family-friendly, welcoming children of different ages. However, some activities, like the Humantay Lake trek or the Rainbow Mountain trek, involve moderate physical activity and might be more suitable for older children or those comfortable with hiking. In case you have babies, they are welcome too BUT remember to bring their special request and take care of them all the time.

Food and Drink

Peruvian dishes: Peru is famous for its diverse and tasteful cuisine. Don't miss trying dishes like ceviche (raw fish marinated in citrus juices), lomo saltado (stir-fried beef), and causa limena (mashed potato dish). Sample local dishes at recommended restaurants or street food stalls under safe and hygienic conditions.

Pisco Sour: A popular Peruvian cocktail made with pisco (grape brandy), lime juice, syrup, egg white, and bitters. It's a must-try drink that perfectly shows Peru's culinary culture.

Vegetarian/Vegan Options: While Peruvian cuisine heavily features meats and seafood, many places offer vegetarian and vegan dishes. Inform your guides or restaurants in advance about any dietary restrictions or food allergies, and they'll often accommodate your needs.

Culture

Hand crafts: Always keep some cash with you to buy some souvenirs you may want. They sometimes accept cards but cash is the most popular payment method.

Tipping Culture: Tipping norms in Peru for tour guides, drivers, and other service providers are not fixed. We always recommend giving a personal appreciation but it is not a must, it is up to you.

Climate

Weather Variation: Weather across regions can differ; ensure to pack for diverse climates, especially for varying altitudes. For example, Ica y warm and dry, so summer clothes can be good. For Cusco or Machu Picchu, we never know so it is important to always pack a warm jacket and rain gear.

Communication

Language: Basic knowledge of Spanish might be helpful, but English is commonly spoken in tourist areas.

Connectivity: In cities like Lima and Cusco, you'll find good internet connectivity. However, in more remote areas, such as the mountains or while hiking, you have to be aware that we will not be connected to wifi or the internet. Expect limited or no internet access.
